Clinics & Services

Ante-natal Care

Doctors can see ante-natal patients and post-natal patients during normal surgery times and share their care with the hospital and a team of midwives.

Baby Clinic

The GP baby clinic is weekly on Tuesday between 3:00pm - 4:00pm with GP and Practice Nurses. This is for developmental checks and immunisations. BCGs can be given to children under 6 by arrangement.

You will be sent an appointment for developmental checks and reminders about immunisations.

Cervical Smears

We strongly encourage all women between the ages of 25 and 65 to have a cervical smear every three years. Arrange an appointment with the nurse. If your smear showed an abnormality you will be asked to attend more frequently.

Family Planning

All doctors and nurses are fully qualified to give family planning advice during normal appointment times.

Skin Surgery

These procedures are performed by the doctor and nurse by arrangement.

Well Person Checks

It is important to have regular check-ups with the nurse to discuss your lifestyle and advise on ways to minimise your health risk factors. This service is free and willingly provided.

Travel Vaccinations

The nurse has up-to-date information on your health needs abroad, including advice on anti-malarial drugs. She carries out all the necessary vaccinations excluding yellow fever. Please book your appointment well before you travel as you may need to have a series of injections. Some vaccinations carry a charge because the vaccine itself is not supplied free through the NHS and the surgery has to purchase it privately for you. The surgery will provide you with all necessary vaccination certificates.

Information about countries and vaccinations required can be found on the links below:

It is important to make the initial appointment as early as possible - at least 6 weeks before you travel - as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travelto allow the vaccines to work.

Travel Health Questionnaire

To help us offer the appropriate advice, please fill out the online form before coming to see the nurse.

If you are travelling to Europe a very useful website to view regarding healthcare can be found here.

This will help you get the most out of your holiday. Have a good (safe!) holiday.
